Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Sigma (Skull), and Sigma Phi Epsilon are the fraternities from Ohio State that had their charters revoked for various reasons.

Kappa Sigma - Failed to comply with fraternity policies.
Phi Kappa Sigma - Low membership, Financial and Housing issues.
Sigma Phi Epsilon - Failed to implement their nationals new value system.

I think things are in reform right with many nationals, mainly for financial reasons. Too many lawsuits and the risk of being sued is out of hand lately. I don't think cleaning house is the answer to every fraternities problem, but at least they aren't trying to wipe them out like Dartmouth. Financial pressure is definitely a factor in every one of these decisions.
